Sex Offenses and the Internet

There are various sex offenses that may be considered "internet sex crimes" because they are committed on or using the internet. Child pornography is one of these, and a defendant may face criminal charges for the sexual exploitation of a child if accused of possessing, selling, distributing or producing any visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexual conduct or exposed in a sexual manner. Additional types of internet sex crimes may include:

• Online solicitation - this may involve various activities and communications transmitted using the internet, including attempting to set up a meeting with a minor for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity, posting suggestive advertisements to attract minors, or attempting to get nude photographs from minors.
• Furnishing harmful items to minors over the internet - knowingly and intentionally transmitting or sending a minor an email or other communication via the internet that is harmful to the minor.
• Sexting - this is a relatively new offense related to sending and receiving text messages. If these messages are sent online using social media networks, chat rooms or other online forums, internet sex crime charges may apply. Sexting is a coined term that means sending messages of a suggestive nature, whether including nude or partially nude photographs or messages of a sexual nature. If an adult is found to be sending or receiving messages of this kind with a minor, this may result in criminal charges.
